Then came the agony and torment. Finally, disgust and disdain. Along the way, there were the boos of vitriol, the cheers of sarcasm. For the Giants, inhabitants of Slam Francisco, Wrigley Field\u2019s cacophony sounded more like a symphony.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Chapman hit two home runs, including the Giants\u2019 sixth grand slam in three weeks, and tied the San Francisco-era record with eight RBIs. Willy Adames had a pair of two-run homers. Casey Schmitt, not to be excluded, smashed two of his own. Rookie Jonah Cox, with the outcome no longer in doubt, hit his first career homer \u2014 off Cubs catcher Carson Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>Those seven homers set the tone in the Giants\u2019 offensive masterclass, an 18-3 victory over the Cubs that secured a third straight victory.<\/p>\n<p>With Chapman\u2019s grand slam, the Giants became the sixth team in MLB history to hit six grand slams in 20 days. San Francisco also became just the third team (since 1901) to hit a grand slam in every leg of a three-city road trip, joining the 2023 Houston Astros and 1983 California Angels. Coincidentally, new third base coach Gary Pettis was the third base coach in Houston that year.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the fourth time that the Giants have hit seven home runs in a single game since moving to San Francisco, most recently on April 3, 2023 against the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Adames gave the Giants a 2-0 lead in the top of the first with his farthest-hit ball of the season, turning a 99.5 mph four-seam fastball from the Cubs\u2019 Edward Cabrera into a 427-foot two-run home run that registered at 107.0 mph off the bat.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=1295\">For some, veteran actor\u2019s killing may be a painful reminder of Rob Reiner\u2019s death<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cabrera rebounded from Adames\u2019 homer by retiring the side in the second and third, but the Giants\u2019 offense ambushed him for six runs in the fourth and knocked him out of the game in the process.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The heart of San Francisco\u2019s order set the table with station-to-station baseball. Luis Arraez laced a single, notching his latest multi-hit game, and Adames followed by drawing a walk. Jung Hoo Lee struck out swinging, but Bryce Eldridge kept the line moving with an infield single that deflected off Cabreara\u2019s glove. Then, Chapman delivered the backbreaking blow.<\/p>\n<p>With the bases full, Chapman sent a hanging curveball into the basket above the left-center field fence to deliver the Giants\u2019 latest grand slam, expanding the lead to 6-0. Before the shock of Chapman\u2019s slam could settle, Schmitt gave the Giants an eight-run advantage by smashing a two-run shot into the left-field bleachers.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco already had more than enough offense after Chapman\u2019s sacrifice fly in the fifth extended the lead to nine, but in the sixth, the Giants landed a devastating seven-run haymaker.<\/p>\n<p>Arraez and Rafael Devers each drove in a run apiece, but the true knockout blows were from Adames and Chapman. Adames launched his second two-run homer to expand the Giants\u2019 lead to 13-0, and three batters later, Chapman absolutely torched a 432-foot, 109.6-mph three-run homer.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=1293\">Mailbag: Schools for the super league, the Big Ten\u2019s future, options for Cal and Stanford, the Pac-12 and UConn, the Sorsby stakes and more<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Chapman&#8217;s grand slam was the Giants&#8217; sixth in the last three weeks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
